Oh yikes, I know that stuff from using it in my parents’ swimming pool, and the warnings all over it indicate just how awful and corrosive it is. The number of reconstructive surgeries this innocent child will likely need is horrifying, and this woman should be punished as harshly as the law allows. Although I wonder if this attack would be excused,under the “stand your ground” laws of the state, if the woman claims she threw it because she feared for her life…?
